Since 2011 notebooks are crippled and applications broken:

"Replaces the current wrongly implement TPage and TNotebook with their correct implementations."

I cannot see what's "correct" with notebooks *without tabs* :-(

What's incorrect with the previous implementation, based on TCustomNoteBook?

See examples/listview for such a broken project.

In short: Someone implemented TNotebook wrongly and then people started using it as a TPageControl. They should use TPageControl instead and leave TNotebook for it's real purpose, which is a multi-paged control without borders and without tabs.

Then at least the example applications should be updated accordingly. It's not a good idea to ship broken examples with a new release :-(

Fixed in r29551. Hope it will lessen the number of sad smileys from you. ;)

agreed! +1000000000000~

this is a problem that i've run into more than once in the last few years that i've been trying to work with lazarus and FPC... sadly it has caught me out in numerous instances and, being a newbie to the FPC and/or Lazarus environments and methodologies, i don't know what to ask about or where to properly ask... so i read and read and read and hope that i come across a workable answer at some point... but then i operate a lot differently than others, too ;)

i'm pulling this fix now... hope to see some goodness as well as crossing fingers and hoping that the update methods i've pulled from the wiki operate in cohesion ;)

Thanks :-)

Sad smileys from me are not so important, in contrast to those from other users, which may find Lazarus still broken and unusable...
